George Washington (After Gilbert Stuart), 19th C. Oil on Canvas standing object This Indonesian fan I believe

This Indonesian fan I believe dates to the very early 20th century

A pretty cool piece of history

but it was originally created (in the second half of the 19th century I believe) to house a cricket

I don't think later than that

with old handmade ones like this one priced quite dearly

George Washington (After Gilbert Stuart), 19th C. Oil on Canvas standing object This Indonesian fan I believeFound just in the time for the 4th of July, this folk portrait of George Washington, based I believe of the earliest of Gilbert Stuart's Washington portraits: the Gibbs Channing Avery portrait, c. 1795. I love variations on a theme, and portraits of Washington are a great example many many out there, all a little different, and of interest at least as much for what they reveal about the painter as the subject. I love the glow y softness of this one,
